From the Liberal Party of New Foundland’s People’s Program book (p. 49)

SCHOOL FOR THE DEAFA New Liberal Government will re-open the School for the Deaf, over a two-year period, working closely with parents and related groups and organizations.

Hopefully the Liberal Party will win the fall election and then within 2 years NSD will re-open. Maybe it would even offer a course in Maritime Sign Language.

The reopening of the school is very important because the school was earmarked by a doctor as being one of the pillars of keeping Deaf culture and sign language alive and thus something to be done away with in the push to eradicate deafness –

They did a great job! We must push politicians to set up Deaf school by sending them that their plans are on the right track and make sure they must listen to Deaf people, not experts who claim they know everything. Thanks for sharing it with all of us!
